Hi All~
So we got a little light of hope through the clouds after learning that my scan results were "mixed" after 8 weeks of Ixempra/Herceptin.
While the combo has done an amazing job cleaning up the nodes in my belly, and I'm clinically much improved, and I do feel much better, my poor liver didn't respond, even progressed.
It's been a long week with lots of doctors visits, but we have a plan in motion, and that is so helpful.
1)I'm continuing on another cycle of Ixempra to finish cleaning up my belly
2)Traveling to Indiana next week to IU to get screened for their TDM1 trial - though it's just to be wait-listed for if/when they open up the trial again - just gotta get on their radar
3)Radioative pellets directly to liver to hit those mets in there. We just met with the surgeon today, and this is what he proposed. He'll present my case at the group conference next week, then tell me their recommendations, though he believes this is a good option.
Does anyone have any experience with either the trial @Indiana or the radioactive pellets?
It's been so hard feeling like we're in limbo, with so few options, but this plan makes me feel more optimistic and pro active.
I would so appreciate any feedback or experience you guys may have.

Keeping the faith~
